The dearth of font choices on Porteus is one of the few weaknesses of this distro. I tried to address this by copying 438 Truetype fonts from my Windows installation to /.local/share/fonts and ran fc-cache -f -v. The terminal told me the cache succeeded and all 438 fonts were recognized but when i opened Libre Office expecting to find a plethora of font choices, only the original 5 were on the menu. Where do I look next?

Why does the module resulting from an rpm to xzm conversion work when an rpm to trgz to xzm module doesn't? I tried both and discovered this curiousity. Is it because the directories change depending on the conversion command used? Where is the active font folder in Porteus? Never mind, I found it.
/usr/share/fonts/TTF for Truetype and /usr/share/fonts/OTF for Opentype
